Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are English Language Learners from a public school. They are curious fifth graders that want to learn and they love school. All of my students receive free or reduced lunch. Their families have economic hardships and it is hard for them to provide all the supplies that their children need to be successful at school.
One word that describe my students is competitive.
They are competitive about sports because even though we don't have enough of the protection gear for our soccer team they still put all their heart in each game. As a soccer coach, I want to provide them with the necessary protection gear they need.
My Project
As teachers and soccer coaches, we care for our students’ safety. With the soccer shin guards, our students will be protected when they practice and play against others. The gloves will protect the goalie from bruises as well as being better equipped for the games. With the extra shin guards and gloves, our students won’t have to be changing and lending to others the protection gear, in order to be part of the practice or game. They don’t have to be changing in the middle of the practice or game and be waiting for their turn to join the team.
